Introduction The STEVAL-GLA001V1 evaluation board is designed to help you develop applications with insulated control of three AC loads up to 1 kW (230 Vrms) using Triacs and AC switches instead of relays. To control the STEVAL-GLA001V1, you can use a NUCLEO-F030R8 development board which allows three AC switch control modes for load control: continuous or pulse gate current, a timer option, and phase control. You can use also any external microcontroller. Once you have installed the relevant firmware (freely available at STSW-GLA001V1) on the NUCLEO-F030R8 development board, you can start adjusting the main parameters through a common serial interface like HyperTerminal. The STEVAL-GLA001V1 evaluation board features a wide input voltage range, low standby power losses, IEC61000-4-4 robustness and two low voltage power supplies. The targeted applications are residential appliances requiring insulation between microcontroller and mains voltage, such as washing machines and dish washers, micro-wave ovens, cookers, ovens, soya-milk makers, printers, air-conditioners, fridges, water-heaters and heaters.

3.2 Triac controlA Triac or AC switch can be controlled through a DC or pulse gate command. If you apply a gate current until theTriac current exceeds IL (latching current), the Triac remains ON even if the gate current is removed. The Triacturns OFF when the Triac current reaches zero, if the gate control is released.

Triac current doesn’t reach IL before end of gate pulse Triac doesn’t remain ON Triac current reaches IL before

end of gate pulse Triac rem ai ns ON

Triac turns-off when the Triac current reaches zero and if no

gate pulse is app l ied

You can control a Triac gate in one of the following ways:1. DC gate control: a continuous gate current is applied. This ensures the TRIAC turns ON, but it is energy-

consuming.2. Pulse gate control: a pulse gate current is applied. The gate power consumption is lower but you need to

verify that IL is reached before releasing the gate current.

3.3 Operating modeThe following operating modes are available to use the loads by controlling the AC switches:1. ON/OFF basic mode: the Triac is ON during the whole period. So the load current is a full-wave sinusoidal

current. This control mode is usually used to control fans, pumps or resistive loads. The gate signal can beDC or pulsed.

2. ON/OFF timer mode: the Triac is ON for a defined period, so the load current is a full-wave sinusoidalcurrent for a chosen duration. This control mode is usually used to control fans, pumps or resistive loads,and also for specific applications like lighting and other home control applications with timer functions.

3. Phase control mode: the Triac turns ON with a delay with respect to the ZVS. Current conduction starts atthe end of the half-cycle. The current conduction per half-cycle can then be set between 0 to half-a-cycle inorder to control the load power. This control mode is usually used to control fans, universal motor speeds orlamp brightness. Only the pulse gate command is available.

The above loads (and corresponding AC switches) can be controlled at the same time or individually. To controlseveral AC switches at the same time, the control mode and parameters are common to all the AC switchcontrols.

3.3.1 Mode selectionThe “ON/OFF basic”, “ON/OFF timer” and “Phase control” operating modes are selectable through the three-position “MODE” switch (SW201), see Section 2.5.6 Switch mode for more information.

This mode is selected through the MODE switch (refer to Section 3.3.1 Mode selection).After you push the AC switch/Load button (Tx) ON, the NUCLEO-F030R8 development board waits for the nextZVS, lights ON the corresponding LED (LEDx) and then activates the corresponding AC switch gate (Gx).To stop the AC switch/load, push the AC switch/Load button (Tx) ON again: the gate is deactivated and the LEDis switched OFF.By default, the gate command is a pulsed signal with a duration equal to the “tp” value. You can modify this gateON duration by pushing on the “TP+” button (to increase ON time) or “TP-” button (to decrease ON time). Thegate command becomes a DC signal when the “tp” value reaches the half-period.All parameters (range, default value, unit, step, etc.) used to configure the load control for this mode aredescribed in Section 3.6 User interface. For more details regarding the hardware components involved in thismode, refer to Section 2.5 Hardware function description.

This mode is selected through the MODE switch (refer to Section 3.3.1 Mode selection). This mode operation issimilar to the ON/OFF basic mode, but a timer stops the AC switch/Load instead of pushing a button.When you push the AC switch/Load button (Tx) ON, the NUCLEO-F030R8 development board waits for the nextZVS, lights ON the corresponding LED (LEDx) and then activates the corresponding AC switch gate (Gx).The AC switch/load is stopped after the timer (“OnTime” duration) has elapsed: the gate is deactivated and theLED is switched OFF.By default, the gate command is a pulsed signal with a duration equal to “tp” value. You can modify this gate ONduration by pushing on the “TP+” button (to increase ON time) or “TP-” button (to decrease ON time). The gatecommand becomes a DC signal when “tp” value has reached the half-period. You can also modify the timerduration “OnTime” by pushing on the “Power Time +” button (to increase timer duration) or “Power Time -” button(to decrease timer duration).All parameters (range, default value, unit, step, etc.) used to configure the load control for this mode aredescribed in Section 3.6 User interface.

This mode is selected through the MODE switch (refer to Section 3.3.1 Mode selection).When you push the AC switch/Load button (Tx) ON, the NUCLEO-F030R8 development board waits for the nextZVS, lights ON the corresponding LED (LEDx) and then activates the corresponding AC switch gate (Gx).The AC switch/load is stopped when the user pushes the AC switch/Load button (Tx) ON again: the gate isdeactivated and the LED is switched OFF.The gate command is a pulsed signal with the time delay equal to “td” value. You can modify this time delay bypushing on the “Power Time +” button (to decrease “td” and so increase load power) or “Power Time -” button (toincrease “td” and so decrease load power).“td” represents the time delay before turning on the AC switch at each cycle. The “td” value is selected from atable consisting of a configurable column number (see Figure 23. td value table details). “td” values should beentered in ascending order (lowest index for lowest “td” value and highest index for highest “td” value).For safety reasons, on first load control with new values, the NUCLEO-F030R8 firmware will start with the highest“td” value (highest index), which corresponds to the minimum power.“td” is decreased (according to the tablevalues) when “Power Time +” is pressed and increased when “Power Time -” is pressed.

Additionally, a soft-start and a soft-stop function are implemented in this mode to allow starting and stopping theload gradually. The number of steps is configurable.

All parameters (range, default value, unit, step, etc.) used to configure the load control for this mode aredescribed in Section 3.6 User interface. For more details regarding the hardware components used for this mode,refer to Section 2.5 Hardware function description.

3.4 ZVS functionThe ZVS (Zero Voltage Switching) function allows control of the loads in synchronization with the mains voltage,which is especially useful for avoiding excessive dI/dt at turn ON that can damage the AC switches. The ZVSsignal versus mains voltage is shown below.

Figure 25. ZVS signal versus mains voltage (zoom on the right)

The real ZVS signal is not exactly synchronized with mains voltage due to component tolerance and delay. Avirtual delay “td_zvs” is implemented in the NUCLEO-F030R8 development board firmware to counter thisproblem. You measure it with an oscilloscope and modify the value through the user interface (for more details,refer to firmware user manual).In case of inductive load use, you must take into account the delay due to the STEVAL-GLA001V1 evaluationboard and the phase shift due to the load. By adding these two delays, you can control the inductive load exactlyat the zero current crossing.Figure 26. Parameters in case of inductive load (example on the right) shows an example of inductive load use:the “Final value” entered in “td_zvs” should be the difference between the “td_zvs” delay and the inductive loaddelay. For example, “td_zvs” due to the STEVAL-GLA001V1 is 1000 µs, and inductive load delay is 2500 µs: thefinal value is “td_zvs” – “inductive load delay” = 1000 – 2500 = –1500 µs.

Figure 26. Parameters in case of inductive load (example on the right)

In phase control mode, the “zcs_margin” parameter lets you avoid period overlap. This parameter should be takeninto account in "td" calculation: a half-period should be equal to the sum of “tp”, “td” and “zcs_margin” as shown inFigure 27. Parameters for phase control mode.

The firmware is able to manage ZVS circuit presence: according to the “zvs_hw” parameter value, some modeoperations may or may not be available. With the STEVAL-GLA001V1, the ZVS parameter is activated by default.In case of firmware re-use with user-own design, ZVS function could be deactivated..Table 3. Modes and gate controls available vs zvs circuit implementation lists all load modes and gate controltypes available regarding ZVS circuit implementation.

9 AC switch gate control dimensioning

Gate current IG is required to switch an AC switch ON. This IG current should be higher than the triggering gatecurrent IGT given in the AC switch datasheet. This parameter is temperature dependent, so recalculation isrequired if a parameter like ambient temperature changes.The STEVAL-GLA001V1 evaluation board embeds three AC switches and all gate control circuits have beencalculated to ensure turn-on for ambient temperature from 0 to 60 °C. It also takes into account fluctuation onVCC_AC voltage (non-regulated auxiliary voltage referenced to mains voltage) from approximatively 13 V to 21 V.In case of schematic use in another design, you must recalculate the gate control circuit, especially the RGresistor (R103 or R106 or R115+R117 pair). Refer to the formulas below to adjust RG resistor values.

X101 Triac

X101 is a T1635T-8FP Triac. The figure below gives the IGT parameter value and its variation versus thetemperature

Figure 41. T1635T-8FP datasheet extract

At 0 °C ambient temperature IGT * 1.26 = 44 mA is needed to ensure Triac activation. Considering this current andVCC_AC minimum voltage, the gate resistors calculation is:R115 + R117 = V R115 + R117IG min = VCC_AC min + VGT max − VCEsatIG min = 13 + 1.3− 0.544 × 10−3 = 313 ΩThe nearest normalized value is 150 Ω.You can calculate maximum power in the resistors considering VCC_AC maximum voltage:IG max = V R115 + R117R115 + R117 = VCC_AC min + VGT max − VCEsatR115 + R117 = 21 + 1.3− 0.5300 = 73 mAPR115 = R115 × IG max2 = 0.8 WTherefore, R115 and R117 are 150 Ω/2 W resistors.

Note: Use the above formulas to recalculate resistor values in case of schematic use in another design with a differentambient temperature.

X102 AC switch

X102 is an ACST310-8B AC switch. The figure below gives the IGT parameter value and its variation againsttemperature.

Figure 42. ACST310-8B datasheet extract

At 0 °C ambient temperature, IGT * 1.4 = 14 mA is required to ensure Triac activation. Gate-cathode resistor (RGK= R110) current should be considered in the calculation as it is significant. In this case, the required IG is:IG min = VGTR110 + 14 mA = 1.1220 + 14 mA = 19 mAConsidering this current value and the VCC_AC minimum voltage, the gate resistor calculation is:R106 + R107 = V R106 + R107IG min = VCC_AC min + VGT max − VCEsatIG min = 13 + 1.1− 0.319 × 10−3 = 726 ΩThe nearest normalized value is 374 Ω.You can calculate maximum power in the resistors considering VCC_AC maximum voltage:IG max = V R106 + R107R106 + R107 = VCC_AC min + VGT max − VCEsatR106 + R107 = 21 + 1.1− 0.3748 = 29 mAPR106 = R106 × IG max2 = 0.31 WTherefore, R106 and R107 are 374 Ω/0.5 W resistors.

Note: Use the above formulas to recalculate resistor values in case of schematic use in another design with a differentambient temperature.

X103 AC switch

X103 is an ACS108-8TN AC switch. The figure below gives the IGT parameter value and its variation againsttemperature.

Figure 43. ACS108-8TN datasheet extract

At 0 °C ambient temperature, IGT * 1.6 = 8 mA is required to ensure Triac activation. Gate-cathode resistor (RGK =R111) current should be considered in the calculation as it is significant. In this case, the required IG is:

IG min = VGTR111 + 14 mA = 1220 + 8 mA = 12.5 mAConsidering this current value and the VCC_AC minimum voltage, the gate resistor calculation is:R103 + R104 = V R103 + R104IG min = VCC_AC min + VGT max − VCEsatIG min = 13 + 1− 0.312.5 × 10−3 = 1096 ΩThe nearest normalized values are 560 Ω.You can calculate maximum power in the resistors considering the VCC_AC maximum voltage:IG max = V R103 + R104R103 + R104 = VCC_AC min + VGT max − VCEsatR103 + R104 = 21 + 1− 0.31120 = 19 mAPR103 = R103 × IG max2 = 0.21 WTherefore, R103 and R104 are 560 Ω/0.5 W resistors.

11 IEC61000-4-4 performance

STEVAL-GLA001V1 AC switches have been tested according to IEC61000-4-4 test. This test allows assessmentof the AC switch robustness against electrical fast transients.

Figure 44. IEC61000-4-4 test with STEVAL-GLA001V1

Measurements were performed under the following conditions:• Vmains = 230 Vrms / 50 Hz• Tamb = 22 °C• STM32 Nucleo board connected and supplied by STEVAL-GLA001V1• 5 kHz - burst duration = 15 ms and repetitive burst period = 300 ms• 100 kHz - burst duration = 0.75 ms and repetitive burst period = 300 ms• Test duration: 1 minute

1. Criteria A: The aim of this test is to withstand 2 kV transient under normal operation (no abnormal behaviorallowed during and after the test). For this criteria, the test is done twice: first with X101 in phase controlmode (to check the normal AC switch operation) and with X102 and X103 OFF (to check that there is nospurious turn-on); the second time with X103 in phase control mode and with X101 and X102 OFF.

2. Criteria B: The aim of this test is to withstand 4 kV transient with normal operation at the end of the test(operation temporary disturbed allowed if followed by a self-recovery). For this criteria, the test is done twice:first with X101 in phase control mode (to check the normal AC switch operation) and with X102 and X103OFF (to check if there is spurious turn-on); the second time with X103 in phase control mode and with X101and X102 OFF.

12 AC switch performance improvements

You can improve AC switch performance in several ways, such as adding a snubber, a RGK or a varistor. Thefollowing table summarizes the configurations.

Table 11. Tips for AC switch performance improvement

AC switch IEC61000-4-5 orovervoltage IEC61000-4-4 or dV/dt Commutation

X101 Add a MOV (stronglyrecommended) Add a RGK No need

X102 No need Modify RGK or add a snubber Add a snubber

X103 No need Modify RGK or add a snubber Add a snubber

The following tips can help improve the behavior for each AC switch reference.1. X101 Triac

X101 is a snuberless Triac; it doesn’t need a snubber to improve commutation performance. You should adda varistor to protect the Triac against overvoltage: varistor reference depends on the applied voltage level.You can also add a RGK to improve dV/dt robustness and therefore IEC61000-4-4, if higher than 2 kV criteriaA (or 4 kV criteria B) levels are required.

2. X102 AC switchX102 is an overvoltage protected AC switch; it does not need a varistor to protect it against overvoltage. Youcan add a snubber to improve commutation performance. You can also modify the RGK value (R110) or adda snubber to improve dV/dt robustness and therefore IEC61000-4-4 if higher levels are required.

3. X103 AC switchX103 is an overvoltage protected AC switch; it does not need a varistor to protect it against overvoltage. Youcan add a snubber to improve commutation performance. You can also modify the RGK value (R111) or adda snubber to improve dV/dt robustness and therefore IEC61000-4-4 if higher levels are required.
